Re: FIRST Championship Housing Available

If we don't qualify, we drop the rooms (Any penalty to doing that?) and let someone else pick up the pieces. If we qualify, we're all set.

It may seem to be the shrewd thing to do but it doesn't seem very gracious.
No, that's exactly what you need to do. We reserved a block of 9 rooms, each sleeps 6 (nominally). I think we will only need 4 or 5 of them. The plan is to share a bus with another team from NE, and we can also share the extra hotel rooms (at cost).
